C5 Capital - Next Generation Nuclear Technology

Next generation nuclear technology is redefining carbon free energy and solving for the key issues that have previously impeded broad scale adoption.

smrs are designed for easy manufacture and transport broadening their potential geographic reach and they offer five times the fuel efficiency of traditional nuclear reactors. Traditional nuclear reactors only extract about four percent of the energy that you could feasibly get out of uranium fuel leaving 96 percent as waste. That's an incredible n... See more

Over 20% of energy in the US comes from a nuclear source. Up to 70% in France. Yet it's not a technology that has been widely accepted, primarily due to concerns of historical safety risks and storage + a dependency on coal and gas.

The spherical shape of triso fuel is designed so it contains the uranium in an impenetrable ceramic fuel element. I t can be stored long term right on site, taking up minimal space and it yields 5x the output of traditional fuel. 

This is a significant innovation that reduces the amount of radioactive waste produced while generating nuclear energy more efficiently, making transport use and long-term storage simple and preventing security risks associated with moving the waste and fission products from fuel forms into storage containers as in the past.

Those key issues involve substantial solutions to cost material improvements in safety and ongoing maintenance and safe storage. N ext generation nuclear technology, as led by small modular reactors smrs are nuclear fission reactors that are now being designed to take the scale of nuclear plants down significantly and enable innovative features lik...

Next generation smrs use a new kind of fuel called TRISO fuel that's much more efficient. T he US department of energy has called trisol fuel "the most robust nuclear fuel on earth". picture a sphere, about the size of a hand, inside there are thousands of tiny triso particles that harness the power of fission better than conventional uranium dioxi...
